I could almost feel it...

So hello to everyone. I feel like I haven't said that and I should. So hello. So the 21st was my 19th birthday and I was 5 pounds away. I joked around saying that it would be the best gift from Heavenly Father just to have these last 5 gone. And when I weighed myself on that Thursday (so the day before) it said that I had lost the weight. I cried all morning!i called everyone. My papers would go in ASAP. Appointments were made to see the doctors and bishop.  I went to the doctors on Wednesday. And was 7 ponds too much. I have seen the last week taking a break. Debating weather I should even go.

But I do need to go. And I need to go soon. Someone out in the world is weighting for me. Who needs me.

This has been the hardest this I have ever had to do. But I know that there was a reason for all of it. I thank heavenly father for all of this. Although I do not appreciate it now I will later.

And thank you for all the prayers and words of encouragement it means the world to me!

Till next time,
Katie.

When all goes well...

I’ve lost 35 pounds. I have 5 pounds left. And they won’t fall off. But the good news is that I have met with the stake president and I’m going to meet with the bishop on Wednesday. I finally feel like everything is coming together. I joke around that the best birthday gift from Heavenly Father would be the loss of these last 5 pounds. But I know Heavenly Father can’t do that. Also my cousin Robbie left of my mission. And that has also been the biggest blessing ever. He helped me realize what I need to do in my life for my mission. To prepare and to spend time with people I love the most. I love you Robbie! See you out there.
